Many of last year’s Streamy winners and nominees continued to thrive in 2009 with shows like The Guild, Dorm Life, EPIC FU and Tiki Bar TV all reaching new heights of viewership. But one thing is for certain, last year’s multi-Streamy-winning Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog won’t be back to compete this time around. (Unless they sneak out that long-rumored sequel in the next two weeks!)
What’s new this year?
12 new award categories have been added, based on community feedback from last year and the ever evolving landscape of web television. The new categories added include Best New Web Series, for new shows that premiered online in 2009, Best Foreign Web
Series, for shows created in countries outside the U.S. and Best Branded Entertainment Web Series, covering shows that originated from a brand or ad agency. The new categories should allow for clearer distinctions between the thousands of eligible web series.Get Certified
Also new this year are certified submissions, which allow for content owners to directly submit proper crediting for their shows, certifying that the proper people are submitted in each Streamy Award category. The general public and fans will still be sending in their favorite shows and talent for consideration, though by certifying a show, creators can make sure the right people are credited and considered by the voters.
